Seabed fixed offshore wind turbine
9
Technology Description
Seabed fixed offshore wind turbines represent the overwhelming majority of the currently installed offshore wind generating capacity. The energy capture and power generation technology is fundamentally similar to that onshore. Offshore turbines are marinised and configured for optimal operation in the offshore environment. There is a diversity of foundation types including monopiles, multi-piles, gravity foundations and suction caissons. These may be associated with particular support structures including tubular towers, jackets, tripods, lattice towers and hybrids.
